Vacation rentals in Thurso

The Noddle is in a fantastic location, a short distance from the ferry and quite central on the island of Hoy & South Walls. There was only 2 of us and dogs, so it would be excellent for families & friends, but the space was great. Well equipped kitchen for cooking and baking, the lunch was bright, but the light in the conservatory was so good, comfortable day bed for relaxing, reading, drawing and soaking up the view. We took wood with us for the fire, but didn't use it as the house was lovely and warm. The garden was lovely, easy access to the burn and beach. walking distance to 'Emily's' tearoom, where we had an excellent dinner, great for special occasions (booking recommended), also walked to Scapa Flow visitor centre for lunch (quite basic). There's a lovely cafe at top end of Hoy, Beneath'ill, recommended if you are going to Rackwick - amazing beach. Been to Hoy a few times, loved our week at The Noddle. Tony was quick to respond to any queries. We'll be back.

We loved every second of our stay even with rainy weather. Yvonne is very friendly and really helpful. We felt like at home and had an amazing family relaxing stay. for sure we will recommend it to friends and family and for sure we will come back again and again. we stayed with 20 months old daughter and it was nice and easy stay. Yvonne even left toys for Maria. Such a lovely touch. thank you very much!!!

This was a lovely house and a good base for exploring Caithness. The house was well equipped, the beds were very comfortable and the showers were hot. The house was lovely and warm to combat the chilly weather outside! Our hosts were friendly and check in / check out was simple. There was plenty of room for the 10 people in our party. Our children particularly enjoyed the sand dunes at Dunnet Bay and rock pooling at Ham Harbour - even in the rain. There was a nice walk from nearby Lybster Harbour along the cliff tops.

We absolutely loved our two day stay at Martin’s house. We had everything we needed and felt very welcome. Martin is a warm and friendly person who went out of his way to make us feel welcome. The house provides in everything that is needed for your holiday. Ample parking nearby and simply put a beautiful house. We went to Orkney by ferry and explored the surrounding area, which is amazing. Plenty of large supermarkets nearby by car. We would love to be able to come back one time.

Very comfortable well appointed cottage, nice back garden to sit and relax all local amenities within walking distance. Sid's across the road is an excellent Indian restaurant. Although on the main road we didn't find the noise a problem even though we were sleeping in the front bedroom. Would recommend if visiting the area and if we're in Brora again would certainly look to book in.

A peaceful stay in a quiet, warm cottage with a well equipped kitchen and a very comfy bed. Just what we wanted for a long weekend away. Thanks very much Catherine.

The whole place is newly renovated and kept immaculately clean. Stevie is an accommodating and warm host. Would recommend.

Not too sure what to say about this stunning house, other than WOW WOW WOW!!! If you’re looking for the perfect base for a group or family getaway, look no further (I looked far and wide before stumbling over Keiss Harbour House and what a find!!!) From start to finish, Jill has been a fantastic host. The house was exactly as described and even better than expected! We were completely blown away. We visited Keiss as a surprise 40th birthday trip with my boyfriend and 8 of our friends. We all agreed that this is by far the best stay any of us have had. There was something for all of us, walking, to beach trips, the beautiful local town of Wick, kite surfing, diving, john o’groats, lots of delicious food. A Tesco 10 mins down the road meant we were able to make great use of the brilliantly stocked kitchen, the stew cooked in the huge slow cooker provided went down a treat after a blustery day! We aren’t ones to return to the same destination but will definitely be back!
